The lyrics below are from " The Leaving Song Pt. 2 " by A.F.I.

Imperfect cry, and scream in ecstasy
So what befalls the flawless?
Look what I've built, it shines so beautifully
Now watch as it destroys me

To... break down, and cease all feeling
Burn now, what once was breathing
Reach out, and you may take my heart away

The school was buzzing the next day about the concert that was to take place Holloween night. Serena was amazed at how quickly news traveled around this school and was even more amazed that people nearly bombarded her with questions that morning at breakfast. It took a while to fight off all the curious first and second years, but she finally made it to the table and joined Harry, Ron and Hermione.

" Looks like you've become quite popular in your short time here. " Hermione commented.

" I guess so. It's only because of the fact I have a band. " Serena replied, helping herself to the cereal in front of her. " You'd think they'd never met a singer before. "

Harry laughed softly. " They probably haven't. Especially an American singer. Don't forget that nine months of every year is spent here. "

Serena nodded, thoughtfully. " I guess so. "

" I think it's hot for a girl to be in a band. " Ron said, eyeing Serena. His expression changed immediately into one of pain. Hermione had kicked him in the shin under the table.

Harry rolled his eyes and turned to Serena with a smile. It wasn't long before he was looped into one of the conversations that he loved to have with her. It was all to soon that breakfast was over and they had to make their way to class. Harry agreed to meet Serena outside her Arithmancy classroom to have lunch together that afternoon. They parted with a small kiss and went their seperate ways.

Once inside her classroom, Serena took her seat towards the back and pulled out a quill, ink bottle and parchment. She sighed softly, scratching out little drawings over the parchment, thinking about Harry. He seemed to be the only thing on her mind lately and she silently hoped that it was the same for him. Her thoughts were broken when her professor called his class to attention.

" Today we're going to choose partners for a project that's due in two weeks. Once I call roll, I want each of you to pick a partner and find seats together. " he said, holding up a piece of parchment. He called roll quickly and then gave them permission to find a partner.

Serena looked around, not really knowing anyone in the class. She looked for someone who wouldn't try to kill her for asking them to partner with her. She was wrapped up in that thought when she felt a tap on her shoulder. She jumped, slightly startled and turn to see a white-blonde haired boy with steely gray eyes, smiling faintly at her.

" Wanna partner up? " he drawled slightly.

Serena blinked, looking the boy over. She had to admit that he was damn hot. " Sure " she mumbled, moving her bag from the chair next to her. The boy sat down and Serena noticed a darker aura that settled around him more so then anyone she'd met so far.

" I'm Draco Malfoy. " he said politely, extending a hand towards her.

" Serena Skylar. " she replied, shaking his hand.

" Beautiful name. " Draco smiled and Serena blushed slightly.

" Thank you. Yours is interesting. It means dragon. I like that. "

Draco laughed slightly at the girls observation. " Don't ask me where it came from. "

Serena smiled thoughtfully at the boy next to her. He seemed nice enough, he was polite and definately attractive. He was so unlike Harry, that Serena knew as soon as he spoke. She could tell that this kid had been born with a silver spoon in his mouth and he spared no doubt with his proper attire and hygiene. Serena was about to ask him some questions when she was interrupted by an annoyed voice.

" Draco. What are you doing? "

Serena looked up to see a pug-faced girl staring menacingly at her. It almost made Serena shrink back slightly.

" Morning Pansy. " Draco sighed, turning to face her. " Is there something I can help you with? "

" Oh I was just wondering why you're sitting with this girl when we should be getting ready to outline the project. " she stated, matter-of-factly.

" Who the hell are you? " Serena asked, arching a brow.

Pansy glared daggers at Serena. " I don't believe I was talking to you. "

" And I don't believe that Draco asked you to be his partner. It's rude of you to just assume that he wanted to be your partner. " Serena said dangerously.

" Who the fuck do you think you are? " Pansy shrieked, pulling out her wand.

Serena stood and was about to pull her own out when Draco stood between the two of them. " Now ladies come on now. I'd think you both had more common sense then to try and hex eachother in front of me. I am still the Head Boy and I won't be able to let that kind of thing slide. "

Serena blinked again and replaced her wand. " You're the Head Boy? "

Draco nodded and turned to Pansy. " Look Pansy you have Millicent to partner with. Serena here doesn't know many people so I thought I would ask her. If that upsets you then I don't know what to tell you. "

Pansy looked like she was going to punch Draco in the face, instead she turned around in a huff and went to join her fellow friends. Draco sighed and slumped back down into his chair.

" Ok do I dare ask if she's your girlfriend. " Serena said cautiously.

" What? Oh gods no. I would have killed myself ages ago if I dated her. She just likes to think that she owns me. " Draco replied.

" Are all Slytherins that demanding? "

Draco smiled and looked to the girl next to him. " When it suits. "

No more was said about the subject the rest of the class. Draco and Serena worked diligently together and even finished their outline by the time class was over. They agreed to meet the next day after dinner to work some more on the project in her common room. They gathered their supplies and walked out of the classroom together, laughing at the way Pansy brushed by with her head held high.

" She really has a broken ego now. " Serena said.

" She'll live. " Draco shrugged. " So I hear that you're going to be having a concert in the Great Hall on Holloween. "

" That's right. " Serena smiled. " Reign In Ice. That's the name of my band is coming to you live at Hogwarts. " she joked.

Draco laughed slightly and shook his head. " Shall I come? "

" You'd better be in the front row. " Serena said seriously.

Harry made it just in time to see Serena walk out of her class next to Draco Malfoy. Harry blinked a couple of times to make sure he wasn't seeing things. It was just his luck that Serena would meet Draco now. Sucking in a breath, he reached the two and took hold of Serena's arm gently.

" Ready to go? " he asked, ignoring Draco's glare.

" Oh hi Harry. " Serena smiled brightly and kissed the boy's cheek. " Harry you know Draco right? "

" Yes. We've had the misfortune of knowing one another. " Harry stated, scowling faintly.

Serena's smile instantly disappeared. " Oh I see. "

Draco stepped forward. " Good day. Mr. Potter. " he said coldly.

Harry gave a curt nod and then turned back to Serena. " Are you ready? "

She nodded and smiled to Draco. " I'll see you tomorrow night Draco. "

" Yeah tomorrow night. Bye. " With a slight wave, Draco turned on his heel and darted down the hall.

" Good riddance. " Harry snorted, taking Serena's hand and leading her towards the Great Hall.

" Harry, what's wrong? Why the glares? " she asked

" What did you mean you'd see him tomorrow night? " Harry demanded, ignoring her question.

" He's my Arithmancy partner. What the hell is wrong with you? " she demanded right back.

" Look Serena. Draco Malfoy is not the type of person you want to get involved with. You said you were muggleborn. Well once he finds that out he'll start treating you like trash. He's a pureblood and his family vlaues tell him that he's to good for anyone less. Not to mention his father is practically Voldemorts right hand Death Eater. " Harry explained.

Serena winced slightly at Voldemort's name. " So? That doesn't mean that Draco is going to follow his father's path. True he does have a darker aura but that doesn't mean anything. He was very nice and very polite. "

Harry sighed and stopped in the middle of the hall. He turned to Serena and smiled softly. " Can you just promise me that you'll be careful around him? If he gives you any grief then let me know and I'll curse him into his twenty-first birthday. "

Serena giggled softly, and leaned up to kiss the tip of Harry's nose. " You're so cute when you're concerned. I promise to be careful. "

Harry nodded. " And don't let me catch you giving him the same attention you give me. " he smiled to let her know that he was only half serious.

" Never! " Serena exclaimed. " Though he is fucking hot. "

Harry laughed and poked her gently in the side. She laughed and kissed him lightly before starting their walk towards the Great Hall again. She took her usual place next to Harry and tucked into the food before them. She hadn't had much breakfast and built a healthy appetite from the Aritmancy work she'd done so far. Once finished, Serena asked Ron and Hermione to join her and Harry in the courtyard. She wanted to introduce the two to her friends and couldn't think of a better time then today. Once again, her band was on the benches outside with a radio blaring the latest rock. Harry and Hermione recognized the band as A Perfect Circle and both found the look of confusion on Ron's face amusing. He was from a pureblood family and didn't have the slightest clue what muggles listened too. Ron and Hermione's introduction went over well and Serena's friends accepted them just as easily as they had Harry. Harry was still a little put off by Serena's choice to make nice with Draco Malfoy. Then again, it's not he and Serena had made anything official and he wasn't even sure if she really liked him. He hoped more then anything that she did and that the stolen kisses they shared were not just some sort of game. He sat quietly, tuning out the rest of his friends, deep in thought. He was only brought back to attention by Hermione telling him that they were going to be late for Defense Against the Dark Arts if he didn't get a move on. Harry didn't mind the subject this year. The new professor was right beneath Lupin in the running for best Defense professors so far, plus it was his best subject. Sighing, he scooped up his bag and followed his friends to class.
